Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Cauliflower Crust Pizza

IMG_6939For the past week I’m been fasting with my dad and little brothers. I chose three things not to eat  and you never know how much you love something until you can’t have it. So I decided to try a different style pizza and let me tell you… it was sooooo good! I made different pizzas so you can have options. It took time but it was worth it. 

Here’s what you’ll need for the crust. The toppings are easy. 

  1. Cauliflower Head
  2. 1/4 Parmesan Cheese (add a little mozzarella too)
  3. 1/2 Teaspoon of salt
  4. 1/4 Teaspoon of Garlic Powder
  5. Two Eggs slightly beaten
  6. Pepper to taste

I added a little of paprika for color and a smoky flavor. The only thing I wish I would have done was lay the crust on top of parchment paper. Other than that it was simple and tasty. IMG_6956Boil the cauliflower, strain it in a cloth or however you’d like and then pulse in a blender.IMG_6960Mix in all the ingredientsIMG_6962Lay it out on you pan. Use your hands to press it out. IMG_6964Preheat your oven to 400F. Then bake for 25-35 min. It depends on the thickness of your crust. Use your expertise.IMG_6966On the first pizza I made it simple. I used mariana sauce…IMG_6970then added fresh mozzarella cheese.IMG_6978On the next pizza I went with my one of my favorites, BBQ Chicken Pizza but added mushrooms and pinapples. IMG_6989BBQ Sauce..IMG_6994Mozzerella Cheese and mushroomsIMG_6945 IMG_6996then add chicken, pineapples, cilantro and sprinkle a little fresh black pepper on top.IMG_6998 IMG_7002While I was waiting I made a quick cocktail with Bailey’s and a shot of xo Hennessy and a touch of cinnamon.IMG_7006 IMG_7007 IMG_7014 IMG_7018 IMG_7022IMG_7026All done! Hope you guys enjoyed this post. Working on a fashion post now for tomorrow. xoxo

February Favorites

feb favorites 31. Eve Lom Cleanser. This is my favorite! Not only does it take off my make-up in a flash it leaves my skin soft and silky, so I can sometimes skip moisturizer.  It comes with a cloth and you can wipe your face clean. A little goes a long way. Occasionally, I use this before then still use another face wash because I want to get a deeper cleanse.feb favorites 52. I heard about Black Castor Oil from my friend. I just started and see a difference. I definitely have areas than need help. I’ll keep you updated. feb favoritesI just started using Authentic African Soap and it smells so good and is very soothing.  I’ve always used a black soap bar so when I saw this in a liquid form I immediately had to try. It’s one of my favs!

Laila’s style

Laila’s style

IMG_5456My baby girl is getting older and those days of me dressing her up has now changed. She has come into her own and it kills me that I can’t pick out her outfits. She’s 10 now so I allow her to pick out her clothing (stuff with my approval of course)  because I want her to develop her own identity. I know many girls that just take on the look of someone else and even though that’s cool to get inspiration, it’s best you be you, take notes from others and jazz it up with your touch. 

Here are some of her previous looks. I’ll also link some items I’d love for her to wear. She’s into comfort mostly because she is in a different activity everyday so she’s very active. She has no time for cute boots, tight jeans or stylish tops. It’s been Adidas, leggings, t-shirts and cardigans. Is anyone else going through this. I miss dressing my baby up…IMG_5432 IMG_5205 IMG_5917 IMG_4991 IMG_5111xoxo

Overall, February is just  a special month to me. Reason’s being… I am such a loving person so I get to spread more love, my brothers/little cousin birthday is the day after, my daughter’s birthday is eleven days later so the entire month is normally filled with fun activities. A present doesn’t make it so bad either. What I’m saying is even if you don’t have a special someone, use this day to show someone love.  Whether it be your grandmother or a neighbor, spread love always but especially spread extra on Valentine’s day.img_4578 img_4583 img_4584 img_4588
